Rolling Stone: This is up there with the best hard rock releases of the past decade

TAKEN FROM ROLLING STONE AUSTRALIA

Featuring former and current members of Mötley Crüe (vocalist John Corabi, who replaced Jon Stevens earlier this year), Guns N’ Roses (keyboardist Dizzy Reed and guitarist Richard Fortus) and Thin Lizzy (bassist Marco Mendoza), you know what to expect on this Craig Porteils-produced LP: big, bluesy, polished classic rock with its roots in Seventies Britain and late Eighties L.A. Given the personnel, it’s no surprise that each note, hook and drum fill is in exactly the right place – which in some ways is also a negative, given that the likes of “Mexico” and “Something I Said” feel crafted to within an inch of their life. But for lovers of the genre, this is up there with the best hard rock releases of the past decade. – See more at: http://rollingstoneaus.com/reviews/post/the-dead-daisies/2380#sthash.zB4ohTDp.dpuf
